There's this old saying about not knowing what you had until it's gone.
That might be the case for the Miami Dolphins this offseason as Dennis Hickey tries to re-make the team's roster in his second season as Miami's General Manager, the top grocery...

Dennis Hickey had a decent first season as the Miami Dolphins' rookie general manager.
Hopefully it was a season filled with lessons learned, because Hickey and his team can't afford too many missteps this offseason, which really begins in Indianapolis...

Last month, I wrote a column on Ten Simple Steps for the Dolphins to take in the off-season. Well, it’s time for an update – and a thorough upgrade in some cases. If draftniks get to do several mock drafts each year, so do I. Some points...

I say this annually but few people pay attention because they typically don't have enough to talk about this time of season, but talking about who to draft before you see what an NFL team does in free agency makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
It typically makes...

As the final echoes of why Seattle made the, "Worst Call in Super Bowl History" fade thankfully away, the NFL's offseason officially descends upon us. And by, "us," I don't really mean, "us."
The offseason began in South Florida nearly six playoff-forsaken weeks ago. We're rested, rehabilitated and ready after the Dolphins' annual winter break to ensure it won't be part of the calendar next season — at least if they listen carefully.
Here are my 10 Simple OffSeason Steps to the playoffs:...

This morning Sun-Sentinel columnist Dave Hyde put on his fake General Manager hat and created a ten step plan to enhance the Miami Dolphins.
The plan, which you can read about here, was solid with a few exceptions. (Major slip up on Duron Carter. Steve Ross should ask for a refund).
My colleague also made the mistake of calling it a "SIMPLE" plan. There's nothing "simple" about what the Dolphins, which presently have $1.7 million in cap space, have to do to make the 2015 team competitive.
Step one...

Who doesn't love a shopping spree? But that doesn't mean you won't have regrets when the credit card bill comes.
That's been the history lesson the Miami Dolphins' decisions have provided since 2007, and Miami will have to pay the bill for the team's 2013 spending spree this offseason.
Yet, Steve Ross keeps giving his executives the green-light to sign big ticket items in free agency. And certain local columnists - cough, cough Dave Hyde - keeps encouraging this behavior.
Hyde will make a plea...

Jason Fox had two offers on the table this offseason when he decided to pick the Miami Dolphins over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Outside of being in the same city where he starred as a four-year starter at the University of Miami, Fox picked the Dolphins because he felt he'd get a fair opportunity to prove what he could do as an NFL player.
It took Fox roughly five months but that opportunity finally came in Sunday's 37-35 win over the Vikings.
Fox, who the Lions selected in the fourth round of the 2010...

The Miami Dolphins will use the final regular season game to call up a pair of the young linemen viewed as developmental projects.
Center Sam Brenner, a second-year veteran who has spent all season on Miami's practice squad, and rookie defensive tackle Deandre Coleman, where placed on the Dolphins’ 53-man roster on Tuesday.
To make room for Brenner and Coleman the Dolphins placed offensive lineman Nate Garner and cornerback Jamar Taylor on the team’s reserve list.
Taylor, who has been...

It wasn't all good. It wasn't all bad. In fact, the Dolphins season again was a Seinfeld episode. As Kramer once said to Seinfeld, "You know who you are? You're Even Steven."
For every big day, they had a bad day. "Things always even out for me,'' as Seinfeld said.
Let's look at 10 plays that defined another evening-out, 8-8- season for the Dolphins:
1.Cameron Wake’s sack of Tom Brady in the opener that caused a fumble and flipped the day in the third quarter to lead a Dolphins win. This was...
